Last month Lynyrd Skynyrd keyboardist Billy Powell passed away at age 56 due to -supposedly- a hart attack.

On stage mr.Powell played on a white grand piano AND a white Hammond B3 organ. The two instruments would stand on a motorized round turning plateau, so whatever instrument he was playing, the plateau would turn him facing the audience. For that single reason alone he was my hero.

Over at Yanko Design a posting is written about an MP3 Cassette player. Not only do you have to use your finger to rewind or fast forward the songs, they come in 45 min.- 60 min. and 90 minute versions. Exactly that last idea is a great one. Bring in the mix-tapes of yore. Find 20 songs you like and put them on a tape. It’s the most personal gift you can give or receive. The equivalent of my mixtape is found here.

Unfortunately the mp3-player is not in production … YET!

A lot of stuff happening here around me. Both good and bad. I’ll save the good news for a future post and hope that the bad stuff will be over.
A minor bad thing is that I am not in this project! Kutiman Remixes youtube.  And the songs are GOOD! I mean this sums up the entire youtube music section, and turns it into something that is way more than the sum of its parts. Not only is this a brilliant idea, it is also executed in the exact right way.

Just click the above picture and all will become clear.
